Recently, silkworm seed distribution points such as Tuantian Town, Yayi Town, and Lianzhu Town in Mojiang Hani Autonomous County, Pu’er City have been very busy, and silkworm assistants are distributing spring silkworm seeds to silkworm farmers.
“Last year, my family raised 4 spring silkworms, earning an income of more than 10,000 yuan. This year, we plan to raise 8 spring silkworms. Under normal breeding conditions, each silkworm seed can produce more than 45 kilograms of cocoons. According to last year’s According to the price estimate, the income from spring cocoons this year is expected to exceed 20,000 yuan.” Yang Wenliang, a silkworm farmer in Xiangbi Village, Lianzhu Town, who got the spring silkworm seeds, said happily.
According to reports, the silkworm seeds distributed this time will go directly to the small silkworm co-breeding rooms in each township (town) and village for centralized incubation. After they are raised to the third age, they will be distributed to silkworm farmers for feeding. In order to prepare for spring silkworm breeding, technical personnel went into the fields of 48 villagers’ groups in 23 villages in 6 townships (towns) in batches to check the growth of mulberry gardens, and guided more than 600 mulberry farmers to carry out unified control of mulberry gardens, and Conduct home inspections and guide silkworm farmers in cleaning and disinfecting silkworm tools in their silkworm rooms.
In recent years, the sericulture industry in Mojiang County has adopted the development model of “company + base + farmers + village collective economy” to ensure the market for silkworm farmers and give them “reassurance”. At the same time, a “double-tie” interest linkage mechanism has been established. For every kilogram of silkworm cocoons purchased by the company, 0.3 yuan will be given to the village committee as the village’s collective economic income, which will be used to feed silkworm farmers to support the development of the sericulture industry and inject “new impetus” into the development of the industry. It is reported that the mulberry orchard planting area in Mojiang County reaches more than 4,300 acres, and a total of 1,037 spring silkworm seeds were distributed this year, an increase of 18.2% year-on-year.
